Each project is tailored to site conditions, operational requirements, and energy objectives.

LightLeader Solar follows industry best practices for design and installation, including proper earthing, surge protection, cable management, and adherence to applicable electrical and safety standards to ensure long-term system reliability. 

Yes. Based on the enquiry our team does pre-site inspection and evaluates feasibility and estimated cost savings for your solar rooftop PV installation. This estimation will provide detailed insights about possible energy generation, expected self-consumption, and potential electricity bill savings based on your historical usage and site feasibility.

Yes, LightLeader provides post-installation support, including system handover, performance monitoring options, and maintenance assistance of your solar rooftop system to help ensure consistent output throughout the system’s lifespan.

Yes. LightLeader can design systems that are future-ready, allowing for capacity expansion, battery integration, or hybrid upgrades depending on roof space and electrical infrastructure.  Please note that these upgrades require additional approvals and follow the guidelines as prescribed or updated time to time by government agencies and / or utility providers.

LightLeader offers hybrid and standalone battery-integrated off-grid solar solutions for customers who need backup power during outages. Backup capacity is designed based on critical load requirements, duration of back up required and budget. 

Lightleader solar focuses on customized system design, transparent guidance, and end-to-end project support rather than standardized, one-size-fits-all solutions. The emphasis is on performance, safety, and long-term value.  With vast experience on installing 100’s of solar rooftop solutions to all consumer segments, we are capable of delivering the most reliable rooftop solar solution for your needs.

You can get started by contacting LightLeader through the website www.lightleader.in for a site assessment or consultation. The team evaluates your energy needs, rooftop feasibility, and grid options before recommending the most suitable solution. 

An On-Grid Solar System is connected directly to the local electricity grid. It generates solar power during the day and supplies it to your home or business. Any excess power produced is exported to the grid through net metering, helping reduce your electricity bill.
This system does not provide backup during power cuts, but it is the most cost-effective option for areas with reliable electricity supply.

An Off-Grid Solar System operates completely independent of the electricity grid. It stores solar energy in batteries, which are used during the night or power outages.
This system is ideal for remote locations or areas with frequent power cuts where grid power is unavailable or unreliable. It ensures uninterrupted power but comes at a higher cost due to battery requirements.

A Hybrid Solar System combines the features of both on-grid and off-grid systems. It uses solar power during the day, stores excess energy in batteries for backup, and can also draw power from the grid when needed. This system offers the flexibility of power backup along with reduced electricity bills, making it a smart choice for homes and businesses that want reliability and long-term savings.

Yes. Residential customers are eligible for solar subsidy under the PM Surya Ghar (Muft Bijli Yojana) scheme, provided they install an on-grid solar rooftop system using approved components.


Subsidy Details:
• Up to 1 kW: ₹30,000

• Up to 2 kW: ₹60,000

• From 3 to 10 kW: ₹78,000 (maximum subsidy limit)

• Above 3 kW: No additional subsidy applicable


Important Conditions:

• Subsidy is available only for on-grid systems

• Off-grid systems are not eligible

• DCR (Made-in-India) solar panels and inverters which are approved by local utility provider must be used

• Installation must follow government-approved guidelines


LightLeader Support: LightLeader assists customers with eligibility checks, system design, DCR-compliant components, documentation, and complete solar subsidy coordination with BESCOM and other utility providers.

DCR (Domestic Content Requirement): - DCR means the solar panels used in the system are manufactured in India using locally produced solar cells and modules.
These panels are mandatory for government subsidy schemes, including the PM Surya Ghar Yojana.

• Required for subsidy

• Approved by the Government of India

• Supports Indian manufacturing

No. Commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftop solar systems are not eligible for government subsidyunder the PM Surya Ghar (Muft Bijli Yojana).


The subsidy scheme is exclusively meant for residential consumers installing on-grid rooftop solar systems.


However, commercial and industrial customers can still benefit through:

• Significant electricity cost savings

• Accelerated depreciation and tax benefits (as applicable)

• Lower operational costs over the system lifetime

• Net metering benefits (subject to DISCOM rules)

LightLeader’s proposal includes end-to-end solar installation, covering:
• Site visit and technical assessment

• System design and engineering

• Structural work (if required)

• Supply of solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, and accessories

• Complete installation and commissioning

• Support for DISCOM approvals, net metering, and documentation


This ensures a smooth, hassle-free solar installation from start to finish.

Yes, many on-grid systems can be upgraded to hybrid systems if the inverter and system design support battery integration. Planning this early helps reduce future upgrade costs.

Physical installation of a 5 kw system typically takes 1 week time, provided there are no challenges in accessing and transporting materials to the installation site, while grid approvals and net-metering permissions may take a few weeks depending on DISCOM utility processes. 

Installing a solar PV rooftop system increases your property’s market value, significantly reduces electricity bills, and protects you from future power tariff hikes. It transforms your rooftop into an income-generating asset while lowering your carbon footprint, supporting green building standards, and promoting long-term sustainability with reliable energy savings.
